Discover our culture and get experience with nice Thai community

Volunteer work that allow you to discover nice culture and experience with Thais.

Atammayatarama Buddhist Monastery (ABM) is a small humble Buddhist monastery tucked away in a serene corner of Woodinville among acres of wooded land. The monastery follows Theravada Buddhist tradition. This place opens to everyone regardless of their belief, socioeconomic status or background. The general philosophy that keeps this place running is "Generosity is not just about material, but also about time, service and giving themselves."

The resident monks and visiting instructors provide sanctuary for the mind
through meditation and dharma talks to all people of good will. They successfully manage to reach out to the community. Children come to Saturday school for dhamma and Thai lessons at the same time. The monks are scheduled to visit inmates to teach meditation focusing on building peace from within.

This monastery is not about brick and stone or the size of it. It is all about the people who come here to make use of it, one way or another. It is the place where ignorance, grief, desolation are lifted away.

There are stories after stories of why people come to this monastery. What they
get out of it and what in turn they give back to the community.

In addition to in-kind donations that makes this place run, we rely heavily on
the help of our volunteers. We need many volunteers to help with two major
coming events.
